Planning

Initially this was a 2.5 acre plot, with the current planning application this will reduce the size of the current plot to allow the current owners to put in place their plans to create a single level, eco home on the western boundary which will not be seen from the current house, as access for this property will be from an existing road.
Additional land maybe available on negotiation with the current owners.
We are currently awaiting the plans to be released on the Somerset Planning Portal, however, we drawings and plans of the proposed build for your perusal.
